No no no. We're not discussing FEAR as RESPECT. You're getting this mixed up with US FEARING GOD. Fear, in that way, is RESPECT. Proverbs 1:7 Luke 1:50 Philippians 2:12-13 What we are discussing here is the EMOTIONS Jesus felt as a human being. You do know about the hypostatic union, I hope. I...

You DO have an opinion,and not a positive one since you keep repeating that it's used to separate Christians. Here's the benefit: Christianity is based on belief in Jesus. Jesus has to be God or we're worshipping a man. So how is Jesus God, if He was a man on earth? This is how the Trinity...

No. You understood incorrectly. All I said is that Jesus felt all the emotions we've felt, including fear. This does not mean He feared man, as one poster said. It ONLY means, He experienced fear. Hebrews 4:15 While Jesus was here, He experienced ALL we have, except He did not sin. Please show...

This is about the 3rd time you've said that the Trinity is used for your above purpose. You must really dislike it. But it is real, nonetheless. YOU don't decide what Christianity is, it has already been decided many years before you were ever born. How has it harmed you?

Who said it's a motivator? Jesus needed a motiator??

See the highlighted above in blue. WHO is the only begotten Son of God? WHO is God? Is the above not referring to TWO PERSONS? Both God? later.

Re-read your post? The trinity is understood by studying theology, the study of God, it cannot be gleened only by reading he bible. It took theologians years to finalize the doctrine of the Trinity. Stay with us. I'll be back in a bit.

It sounds like God is a monster that makes some go to hell through no fault of their own. Let's not derail your thread...

Refresher course: T: Total Depravity --- Man is DEAD and only God, if He so chooses, can revive him. U: Unconditional Election --- GOD ONLY chooses who is going to heaven and who is going to hell. Arbitrarily, with no condition. HIS choice. L: Limited Atonement--- Jesus died ONLY FOR THE...

Whew! I don't mind saying that I dislike Calvinism, and that's putting it mildly.

God has immortality. God is the Head of the Trinity. Jesus and the Holy Spirit also have immortality because they are OF God Father, the GodHEAD. Will be posting on this now. But first, what does GINOLJC mean? Glory.....Lord Jesus Christ ??

Do you believe God decides who will be saved and who will not?

Hi 101 Your posts are very good and very right on. God had to be the One to atone for our sins because no mere human could atone for the sins of which he would have been one. Excellent post. John 3:16

A I know what you mean about supporting scripture... However, if there is some, you should still post it. I've never heard of what you're speaking of for instance. I'd like to see it written down somewhere in the bible...

BG I Always thought of the verse you posted as being a little bit like childbirth. For the joy set before a woman, she is willing to endure childbirth. I cannot agree with you. I believe Jesus did experience fear. First you said He was only agonizing because of the unknown. Doesn't agony...

Hi Oz I did see the image in your article. It is also my favorite and explains the Trinity really well. I plan to explain the Trinity like this: Nature: all 3 have the same nature: theos Attributes: each has His own attribues (Father is not son, Son is not Holy Spirit...) Order...

Are you saying satan is also a mythological creature??

Here's your OP F2F. Frankly, I don't understand it. WHO was a mortal member of the community? Also, I'm getting very tired of those who say that God is mean to us to train us for something or other. I train my cat. I'm not mean to him. Maybe if you explained your OP a little more... I do...

I'm not Catholic and do not like being put in the position to defend the CC. I will say, however, that the Pope has no such power as you ascertain above. There is a magesterium to which any change in Catholicism must agree. It consists of the Pope and Bishops which are titled with Cardinal...

Grace is grace. God's grace is sufficient. It does not need to be Hyper. Why? Are You a hyper-grace believer?
